Some New Beauty Favorites

Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday. Today, I thought I'd share a few new beauty favorites I've been enjoying this month.

I don't know if it's just a biproduct of getting older and being more concerned with the state of my skin or if our generation is just more in-the-know as a whole, but I've been really into perfecting my skincare routine. I spend what feels like hours researching different products and asking for samples when I go to Sephora, so I'm really beginning to hone in on what works best for me.

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation
I had been wanting to switch to a liquid foundation for a little while. I've used a loose powder for the better part of the past two decades, but this Winter has been especially harsh on my skin, (thank you, Santa Anas!) so I thought I'd try something a bit more hydrating. I went to Sephora to get colored matched, and once the list of different products popped up, I knew I wanted to try Laura Mercier, as I've heard such great things about the brand. I love how smoothly this foundation glides on and the natural finish it gives me.

Make P:rem Hydrate Me. Microtension Cream
This is the moisturizer I've been using on my face for the past month. I love it for so many reasons. One, it's sold at Target, so the price point is unbeatable. Two, it works as both a day and night moisturizer, so I use fewer products, which fits perfectly with my "less is more" philosophy when it comes to skincare. Three, it's extremely hydrating, but doesn't leave me feeling greasy. I can put my makeup on over it, and it doesn't clump or smear.

Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Oil with Coconut & Argan Oils
I love this stuff for removing my makeup. Because it contains coconut and argan oil, it's super gentle and doesn't dry out my skin like many cleansers tend to do. I don't use this every day, but have been alternating it with my normal cleansers for when my skin is in a need of a little extra nourishment and hydration.

Trader Joe's Rose Water Facial Toner
Can we all just agree that Trader Joe's has everything? I love how they've been slowy incorporating different beauty products into their repetoire of goods. I've been looking for a facial toner for a little while now, but since I was fully clear on what toner did exactly, I knew I didn't want to spend a fortune on one. No joke, this stuff retails for $3.99. I spritz this on my face before my moisurizer and it's extremely hydrating and honestly just a delight to use.
